Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is foundational to life on Earth, catalyzing carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation to generate biomass. However, Rubisco is a slow and inefficient enz...

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are a diverse and widespread class of self-assembling protein-based organelles consisting of a semipermeable protein shell encapsulating an enzymatic core. Isolated ...

Rubisco has inherently low catalytic efficiency limiting crop productivity. Here the authors show that chloroplast genome editing can be used to generate substitutions in Arabidopsis rbcL that increas...

Life on Earth depends on photosynthetic CO2 fixation via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle to form organic carbon. This process evolved first in cyanobacteria and was later conveyed to eukaryotes, givi...

How membranes are integrated into biomolecular condensates is a fundamental question in cell biology. In the algal pyrenoid, an organelle responsible for one-third of global carbon fixation, CO2-deliv...

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to investigate extracellular electron uptake in photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria), focusing on underlying molecular mechanisms and regulation, and with c...

Communications Biology - Single-cell timelapse fluorescence microscopy reveals dynamics of the carboxysomal redox state in cyanobacteria under high and low CO2concentration as a result of changing...

Most algae enhance their CO2 assimilation by concentrating CO2 within the pyrenoid, a biomolecular condensate of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. Man...

A previously non-annotated, CO2-controlled gene was identified in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 that encodes a small protein contributing t

The RIPE team laser-focused on improving photosynthetic efficiency and new research sheds light on the complex regulation of Rubisco activity. In many plant species, Rubisco activity is inhibited by...
